The added animations make it so that for the most part their feet have to be on the ground for them to move...for the most part, lol.

Whoa...you just blew my mind. I gotta see this.

Anyone else notice the wrong ball color in career mode for the Premier League. I have it set to default for ball type but I started my career and the yellow ball was used from the start of the season. This is obviously minor but something I noticed. On the 360 version it knew what point in the season to switch to the yellow ball from the white one. I wonder if it's basing it on the real world calendar and not the in game calendar.

Great game so far, but disappointed that they still haven't fixed the fixtures in career mode.

Playing a "pro" career with Arsenal and I've just had 4 matches in 1 week.

Sun: Off
Mon: Off
Tue: Match
Wed: Match
Thu: Match
Fri: Off
Sat: Match

Really? I have to play 3 games in a row and then get just 1 day off before playing another match?

Other than that the game has been great so far.

Thoughts? Cheers fellas!

I haven't played FIFA next gen yet but I do know of some big PES PS3 fans that some of them are really liking the new FIFA next gen saying it plays a lot better than Fifa on PS3...

here is a good example of a hardcore PES guy talking about it...



I say unwrap it ... once I find a PS4... I'm upgrading from PS3 BF4 and PES to FIFA and BF4 on PS4

you can't go wrong with FIFA online either.. online FIFA is so much better than PES and it makes it worth buying the game imo even if you are more of a PES player.

I purchased PES this year, but I think I'm done with it now that I have Fifa. The gameplay is there and it's just a better put together package. I look forward to see what Konami does next year on the next gen consoles, but I'm all about Fifa 14 right now.

Noticed the ball color is yellow for BPL in career mode. Weird. Going to change it manually I guess. For Cup games it's white.

Thanks for sharing this my friend. TrueBrit is legendary in the PES community, so having his 'seal of approval' is something that cannot be taken lightly.

As soon as I get home from my business trip, will definitely be giving it a go. I need a futbol 'fix' ASAP. LOL!

Yeah I noted this a few posts above. I had this for 360 and the game's logic knew at which point to transition from the white ball to the yellow ball. The yellow ball isn't used until they change from daylight savings time but on One it has the yellow ball from the start of the season. Interesting that it's white for Cup games. I've only played 4 games of my season so I haven't played any Cup games yet. Obviously a minor detail.

I played a game last night, Liverpool against Swansea, and it was the most realistic game I've played on either console in terms of fouls called. I play with 15 minute halves and the game finished with 10 fouls called against me and 8 against Swansea including 4 yellow cards between the 2 teams. I think where I notice some of the biggest differences between 360 vs. One is in the collision animations. When I watch a replay of a foul the physics just look right.
